To be honest, Skyloft doesn't seem that big a place, a town of about 30, a graveyard for 9 and just 1 boarding school. So does this mean everyone, with obvious exceptions being Beedle, Pumm and Kina, come from here? Just these people?
This also got me thinking about something Levias says about Link's parents. Namely, where exactly are they? Is there another island we don't see in the game where more people live or where Link and Zelda grew up together? Is this really the only place in the sky where our humans come from, if so, are they all related in some way and where do they even get their food? Where does the waste go when Link uses the toilet? What happens when more than 9 people die, are their bodies dumped over the edge? Do they use the smaller islands for burials?
Now I'm sure you're all going to give me the same answer I got when I pointed out how 1 mask in Majora's Mask was overall useless. IT'S A VIDEOGAME. Either there wasn't enough data for it or it isn't that important to the game's actual plot. The point is to have fun going through your adventure in a cool fantasy world. And I must agree with you, yes, because of the overall plot, minor things like these aren't important.
However, I am looking at through the perspective of someone IN that world, not to mention my own unfortunate ability to over analyze some things, so I just can't help but talk about this through a character in the story's perspective.
